Shared-content session user interfaces

Abstract

The present disclosure generally relates to user interfaces for managing shared-content sessions. In some embodiments, content is shared with a group of users participating in a shared-content session. In some embodiments, the content is screen-share content that is shared from one device to other participants of the shared-content session. In some embodiments, the content is synchronized content for which output of the content is synchronized across the participants of the shared-content session.

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

[0005]The present technique provides electronic devices with faster, more efficient methods and interfaces for managing shared-content sessions. Such methods and interfaces optionally complement or replace other methods for managing shared-content sessions. Such methods and interfaces reduce the cognitive burden on a user and produce a more efficient human-machine interface. For battery-operated computing devices, such methods and interfaces conserve power and increase the time between battery charges.

[0073]Thus, devices are provided with faster, more efficient methods and interfaces for managing shared-content sessions, thereby increasing the effectiveness, efficiency, and user satisfaction with such devices. Such methods and interfaces may complement or replace other methods for managing shared-content sessions.

Problems solved by technology

Some techniques for communication and information sharing using electronic devices, are generally cumbersome and inefficient.

For example, some existing techniques use a complex and time-consuming user interface, which may include multiple key presses or keystrokes.

Existing techniques require more time than necessary, wasting user time and device energy.
